WHY STUDY ABROAD

Saturday, July 27, 2013

Studying abroad is a life-time experience and probably the
best decision any one can make in his life. Studying abroad can be expensive and may cost you a lot of money initially. However, the benefits you will reap are tremendous.

While studying abroad you get an opportunity to interact
with other international students and this may culminate in ever-lasting
friendships.

Studying abroad widens your horizon, offers you an
opportunity to understand the world and view things in a much wider
perspective.

Studying abroad offers you an opportunity to learn a new
language which you will never be able to learn in your home country. There is
no better and more effective way to learn a language than to be immersed in a
culture that speaks the language you are trying to learn.

Studying abroad for an extended period of time helps you have a closer look
at another culture and understand it. Culture reflects very deep perceptions,
beliefs, and values that influence the way of life and the way people of that
culture view the world. Students who experience cultural differences personally
can quickly understand where other cultures are coming from.

While studying abroad you get new ideas, changes the way you
look at things around you, alters your beliefs and values. An encounter with
other cultures enables you to see your own culture through new eyes.

While studying abroad, weekends and academic breaks allow
you to venture out and explore your surroundings - both your immediate as well
as more distant. You get to know the country you are studying in.

While studying abroad, you encounter absolutely new situations,
you learn to adapt and respond to them, you discover new strengths and
abilities, face and conquer challenges, and solve problems. You harness skills
that you will probably find most useful in your life.

Studying abroad can give you study choices you would never
have had at your national universities. You have an opportunity to learn in a
different way than you have been used to.

While studying abroad you may learn entirely different ways
of teaching or learning than what are used to in your own country. It can be
very useful to try other ways of teaching or learning as this helps to
understand that there can be several ways of doing something.

You will be exposed to an entirely new academic system and you will have a
chance to take courses not offered in your home country. It's also a great
opportunity to come out of a monotonous routine you had in your home country.

As the world economies continue to be globalised, companies
from around the world continue to invest in other countries, creating a need
for manpower which is able to manage in different cultures. An individual who
has been educated abroad is assumed to be more independent, self-motivated,
willing to pick up challenges, and able to cope with diverse problems and
situations. Your studying abroad, getting to know other cultures, and languages
can offer you a distinct edge over others in acquiring your dream job.

While studying abroad, you can take courses you would never have had the
opportunity to take on your home country. Exposure to latest technologies,
equipment and methodologies gives such a big boost to your career that it
catapults you into a hero from a zero in your country.
